FUEL SYSTEM 11-7
CLEANING
• Clean all jets with a spray-type carburetor cleaner and dry
them using compressed air.
• Clean all circuits of the carburetor thoroughly, not just the per-
ceived problem area. Clean the circuits in the carburetor body
with a spray-type cleaner and allow each circuit to soak if nec-
essary to loosen dirt and varnish. Blow the body dry using
compressed air.
• After cleaning, reassemble the carburetor.
INSPECTION
Check the following parts for damage or clogging. If any damage
is found, replace the parts with a new one.
• Throttle valve
• Jet needle
• Hoses
• Floats
• Main jet
• Needle jet holder
• Pilot jet
• Power jet
• Starter knob
WARNING
Some carburetor cleaning chemicals, especially dip-
type soaking solutions, are very corrosive and must
be handled carefully. Always follow the chemical man-
ufacturer’s instructions on proper use, handling and
storage.
CAUTION
Do not use a wire to clean the jets or passageways. A
wire can damage the jets and passageways. If the
components cannot be cleaned with a spray cleaner, it
may be necessary to use a dip-type cleaning solution
and allow them to soak. Always follow the chemical
manufacturer’s instructions for proper use and clean-
ing on the carburetor components.
CAUTION
Replace the removed O-rings with new ones.
